Welcome

There is an island in the Ionian Sea known as Corfu. That is a dramatic landscape of rocky shores and lush forests surrounded by emerald waters. It is little wonder that tourists around the world flock to this tiny paradise each year to explore its wonders and enjoy its beauty. But Corfu's greatest treasures lie in its people and history.

The Monastery of Panagia Myrtidiotissa delivers these treasures and much more. This historic landmark sits atop the craggy shoreline overlooking the beautiful Ionian seascape.

So, please explore the website and find out more about this landmark, built four hundred years ago, that remains a vibrant, working monastery to this day through the efforts of Father Daniel and love from the Corfu's people.
